Beautiful pain

The pain that comes from the absence of your lover can be a beautiful thing...

 Woe is me when I think of you

The pain is unreal; it can’t be true

I though I’d had it all before

But that was training for this war

You destroy me with your absence

But this pain is pure and beautiful

I am the night sky without stars

I am alive, but oh, so empty

No one can see me

A shadow, a wraith

Only my love glows

Come to me my love

I need to hold you

Appoint the stars in my heaven

Be my flesh

Make me whole

Swallow my pain

Bathe me in your pure beauty

Forever

Pain can be a reminder that we are alive and can actually still "feel". Your poem is beautiful..I can feel your beautiful pain..

Peace,love and light,

I feel that beauty of the pain and loss. I am sorry for that part--that part, however, gives others the gift which makes us feel; perhaps, some, for the first time. This writing cuts into the core and it releases the basic heart, soul, love, need, and it keeps on.

I can relate to the sentiments and the meaning expressed via your verses here, David. You have reminded me of a poem that I have posted here at AD entitled, "Absence." Thank you. Love and peace to you,

Regis
